Chlamydia cannot be grown on conventional bacteriological medium. A tissue culture system has been available that allows easier laboratory culture of the Chlamydia species. However, with the exception of the LGV serovars, most C. trachomatis strains do not readily infect tissue culture cells.

Chlamydia pneumoniae grows on specialized cells called epithelial cells, typically found in the respiratory tract. These bacteria are obligate intracellular pathogens, meaning they require living host cells to replicate and survive.
